摘要: An aircraft propulsion system includes a core engine and a bottoming cycle where a working fluid is circulated within a closed circuit. A first heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from a portion of thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow to working fluid of the bottoming cycle. A fuel/working fluid heat exchanger provides the cryogenic fuel to cool the working fluid exhausted from a bottoming turbine and before a bottoming compressor.

摘要: A method for controlling a turbomachine including a temporary power-increasing device, the control method including a step wherein the flow rate of the coolant injected is adjusted as a function of the atmospheric pressure and/or of the ambient temperature and/or of at least one parameter such as the speed of rotation of a gas generator, the speed of rotation of a low-pressure turbine or of a power turbine, the gas pressure at the outlet of a compressor stage, the temperature at the inlet of the low-pressure turbine or of the power turbine, the engine torque, and/or the collective pitch of a helicopter rotor or the pitch of a propeller of a turboprop.

摘要: A method is provided during which an aircraft powerplant is provided. The aircraft powerplant includes a combustor and a water recovery system. The water recovery system includes a condenser and a reservoir. Fuel is combusted within the combustor to provide combustion products. Water is extracted from the combustion products using the condenser. The water recovery system is operated in one of a plurality of modes based on likelihood of contrail formation. The modes include a first mode and a second mode, where the water is collected within the reservoir during the first mode, and where the water passes through the water recovery system during the second mode.

摘要: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a fuel injector assembly, and the fuel injector assembly includes a fuel passage, an air passage and a steam passage. The fuel injector assembly is configured to direct fuel out of the fuel passage along an axis into a volume as a fuel flow. The fuel injector assembly is configured to direct air out of the air passage along the axis into the volume as an air flow, where the air flow circumscribes the fuel flow. The fuel injector assembly is configured to direct steam out of the steam passage along the axis into the volume as a steam flow, where the steam flow circumscribes the fuel flow and provides a radial buffer between the fuel flow and the air flow.

摘要: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a hydrogen fuel system, a water recovery system and a water pressure and quantity monitoring system. The water recovery system uses a condenser to extract water from an exhaust gas flow. The water pressure and quantity monitoring system measures water pressures and quantities at various locations in the water recovery system to assess the health and efficiency of the water recovery/supply system and the propulsion system.
